Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev remains hospitalized and unable to speak because he has a gunshot wound to the neck that may have been self-inflicted, according to news reports. But he is communicating with authorities and responding to their questions in writing, CNN reports.

Investigators told CNN they have been questioning Tsarnaev, 19, since Sunday, but would not elaborate on what information he has been communicating. He is expected to be formally charged as early as Monday, according to news reports.

Authorities believe Tsarnaev and his older brother, Tamerlan, who was killed during a shootout with police early Friday morning, intended to unleash more violence, according to The Boston Globe. During their investigation, police found a large quantity of IEDs, hand grenades, ammunition and other explosives, but they believe the Tsarnaev brothers were acting alone and independently.
